A sumptuous presentation of impeccably designed classic interiors
by Matthew Patrick Smyth. Matthew Patrick Smyth is renowned for
elegant, sophisticated rooms that combine sumptuous fabrics,
well-selected antiques, and contemporary comfort. In Through a
Designer's Eye, he reveals his design process, emphasizing his
commitment to exploring the world, through travel and in the
imagination of the theater, and to recording scenes and vignettes
in photographs. Through a Designer's Eye presents Smyth's recent
work ranging from a traditional Park Avenue apartment and an edgy
Tribeca loft in Manhattan to waterfront houses in Florida, New
England, and Long Island that demonstrate his skills in responding
to context and eliciting preferences of clients to create a unique
environment for each. Nowhere is this better seen than in his own
house in Salisbury, Connecticut, an unexpected 1970s prefabricated
deck house now elegantly appointed with an eclectic mix of
furniture, objects, and works of art he and his partner have
collected over many years. Smyth's engaging, first-person narrative
references formative experiences with theater and photography and
focuses on five elements of interior design - appreciating of
artisanal and handcrafted elements, understanding of history and
context, evaluating light and seasonal change, weaving furnishings
and art into a coherent mise-en-scene, creating an inviting
atmosphere - that contribute to successful spaces. Illustrating the
text are lush photographs of completed rooms, interspersed with
Smyth's own vignettes and details, which add a unique visual layer
to the presentation.
